Why?
I have been dipping my toe back into blogging for years, Ciara in Senegal, Stories on ATUM, Chez Atum, Trop Vert, and before that on Wordpress. I have a thing for chapters, and was longing for a new space to document this current chapter — as well as for showing directly how the lotus cards for inner space and Daybook can work.
Inspired & motivated by a conversation with my friend Evelyn Bandoh — I wanted this to also be a one-year capsule. 54 cards, one week at a time.
Where does the order of cards come from?
I wrote them all down one day at a cafe in Ubud (10/21/24 to be exact) called Moon by Sun. I decided to start with the lotus card representing the current gateway of Sacred Women Alumni at the time and flow through the deck each suit at a time, one card per week. This way I already have a tiny green book with the outline for the year. So as each week goes by I can already see what energy to be reflective on. I carry it around and make notes as the days go on.
This order is working divinely for me, but one could certainly shuffle the deck and write them all out in any order they appear as well.
It’s important to write them all out at once to test the theory though, rather than shuffling each week as you go along; which could also result in duplicates.
Souvenirs?
While there is a price on the subscription, at the moment I am not selling anything aside from my novel: Voyage to Atlantis on Amazon. The hardcover was limited edition and only shipped directly from my person. Previously the ATUM Collection could be found at atempleofthemoon.com but since I’m traveling it is currently archived until further notice.
If you would like a custom one-year lotus journal — the price is $175 and includes a handmade unlined book from Bali (by Saraswati Papers) with one painted sesenmoon inside, and a single lotus card sticker on each page (one card per week) that is arranged in an order pulled just for you. Designed to start whenever you begin.
Think of it as a year-long tune-up or tune-in to your own inner space.

What is the ATUM ALMANAC?
A Kemetic metaphysical lunisolar scroll that explores the elements, cosmic events, timeless truths, dreams, mysteries and inner space that make our existence divine.
Traversing a collective + individual journey towards ascension —
created to hold space for and document your own voyage. Refer to it regularly for planting, growing, healing and blooming.
It is a collection of days, lives, vibes, moons, and stars for perpetual use. A book for cycles, seasons, moments, and remembrance. One to be put down and picked back up. Forgotten for years and returned to again. For revisiting past days, tracking growth, dreams, ideas…
Presented first in 2019 in the form of Lotus Cards for Inner Space, the Atum Almanac is ever evolving, and fluid — arranging and rearranging itself based on the initiate and the question.
Do I teach classes or mentor?
I am a Sacred Woman Practitioner and will be mentoring the upcoming Spring Cohort 2025 — so if you are ready to SWIM feel free to request me :)
The masterclass for ATUM Almanac is coming soon… we shall see what follows. Energetically, it’s already a lot. Mid-2024 I launched an affiliate circle for ATUM — but the timing was not aligned.
